Doctor fear – turning doctors visits into a positive experience
I want to help you take the stress out of going to the doctors!
If a child fears the doctor's office, health visits can be a challenging experience for the whole family.
Kids are naturally scared of the potential for injections or painful procedures. The first question they often ask is ‘am I having an injection today?’. And kids' distress is contagious. A recent survey found that nine percent of parents said they have sometimes avoided raising concerns or asking questions because their child was so up set during a doctor visit. This can lead to avoidance such as delaying immunisation or even cancelling the appointment altogether.
Listen to my five top tips for getting your child through the front doors without a screaming meltdown. How do we reduce that anxiety and make healthcare a positive experience!
